Go Motec go 6 Ignition coil drivers if you want big power.400rwhp is no problem for Autronic after that you start spending big on ignition and may run into the damaged engines seen in WA.Autronic has only two caps to drive 6 coils in their CDI unit .If your dealer says they can give you big power without the problems Danny and the Wholagan GTR had get it in writing.

Why did you remove the PFC?

The PFC was stolen along with the Z32 afm's, intake filters/piping and fuel pumps (as well a some nice damage to the car) during shipping/storage in Aus. I have a PFC that I can use to get the car running, but I want to go aftermarket as I am chasing big power.

I am leaning towards going for a "plug-in" Autronics. But I will be researching CDI's to see what I come up with. My mechanic is confident about Autronic's support, so we'll see what happens.

Thanks for you help. I would like to hear more about the problems associated with Autronics and their CDI's. What alternative can anyone recommend?

I have a PFC that I can use to get the car running, but I want to go aftermarket as I am chasing big power.

I have seen a Power FC equiped R33 GTR run 8's with a Power FC, it makes a little over 1,000 bhp using 2 X Q45 AFM's. It's called V Max if you want to check it out, so don't underestimate the Power FC.:P

Thanks for that, SK. I will consider the PFC, since I already have one, so I might was well use it. :P What is your opinion re CDI's with all three ECU's?

Thanks Roy, will do. However, I think we will be going through a certain workshop in Silverwater.

I keep hearing that, but my mechanic seems to think that he knows the right people when it comes to Autronic's sales and service.

thats correct...if you go to a good dealer you will get all the back-up you need for autronic.

Good one. Autronic are in Melbourne, with the primary support base coming from Ray Hall in Cairns. I'd like to know who the 'head office' in Sydney is, cos it just doesnt exist. Maybe that's the reason it's taking so long!

We never have problems with Autronic. Install it correctly and it works. Dont blame it for other areas of the car being lacklustre or inadequate. There are good dealers out there, and expert tuners. Dont blame the product because it isnt installed right or the shop cant tune it.

I chose the Autronic simply because I got a better deal on it than the Motec. The only thing negative thing to say about the Autronic is the cold start idle. Doesn't handle it very well but on the other hand it may be because we've just relied on a warm engine for driving...

We've recently put a Motec into a R32 GTR and it happily made 535rwkw.

Personally, if I was on a budget, I'd go the Autronic with CDI otherwise if money is of no consequence, run with the Motec.

Leewah do you know Karl Brandon at all?

I know Karl very well. Known him for bout 3 years now. He's help work on my car on numerous occasions and helped out many a late night before AutoSalons getting my car ready.

What Motec set up was used on that R32?

If I'm not mistaken, it was an M800 setup. Came from Japan with a F Con VPro which was quickly replaced with the Motec.

Karl is an absolute Champ. Both He, Nigel and Gerald have helped me out on many an occasion. Combined, their knowledge of cars, engines ect, is pretty impressive.

The MoTec that is used is an M800.

Leewah is correct. The car came with an F-Con V Pro from Japan, which was replaced by the MoTec.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
